Onyx Gift Cards is a Grenadian company designed to introduce, market and manage gift cards systems in Grenada for retailers and corporations. We are enthusiastic about the effect and influence we will have on the local market. We intend to expand our systems regionally with a range of product offerings and services.
Gift cards are the preferred way of giving and receiving gifts. They carry a monetary value that can be redeemed for gifts at your favorite store.
Onyx GiftCards are “Open Gift Cards” which means that they can be redeemed at multiple merchant locations. They are standard credit card size, can fit into the average wallet and made of PVC plastic. Onyx GiftCards are Barcoded for security and safety for the consumer and bear a disclaimer at the back.
Onyx Giftcards can be bought with a branded Card backer which is black in colour and is designed to fit the card. There is an area to write a brief message to the recipient as well.
If you are shopping for free ways to stop card testing, buy the controls you already own before you buy anything else. A rate limit on your checkout and payment endpoints, plus the fraud filters your payment processor already provides, stops the largest share of attacks at no cost. Card testing works by pushing large volumes of stolen card numbers through a live payment form to find the ones that still authorize. The attacker needs volume, so anything that caps volume at the door or makes each attempt expensive to repeat removes the profit from the attack. Paid fraud platforms help later, once your basics are in place.
Free tools cover the entry points of an attack, not every edge case. That is enough for most small and mid-size merchants. Look for these capabilities before you consider a paid subscription.
The features matter less than where the tool sits in the payment flow. A filter that runs after authorization has already cost you an authorization fee and a decline. Prefer controls that run before the card is charged. Check whether the tool can read your processor's decline codes, because decline reasons separate a real customer from a tester. Confirm that it can act on data you already collect, such as billing country, email age signals, and order value. Finally, confirm the tool has an audit trail. You need to see what was blocked and why, or you cannot tune the rules.
These starting ranges suit a typical ecommerce store. Tighten them if you sell low-value digital goods, and loosen them if you sell high-ticket items with slower buying cycles.
Yes. Rate limiting, a challenge step, enforced AVS and CVV, and your processor's native fraud rules handle most attacks. Add a paid platform when volume grows or when you sell digital goods delivered at once.
Each attempt produces authorization fees, and the successful ones turn into chargebacks. Enough of them trigger processor fines, higher reserve requirements, and in serious cases account termination.
Within the first hour. Attack bursts are short and intense, so a rule you deploy during the burst still saves money.
Authorization logs, decline codes, card BIN, IP address, email domain, and order value. Those five fields identify almost every test run.
